| In this paper we present an analysis of software practitioners' motivations for software process improvement (SPI). Our findings are based on an empirical study of SPI in 13 software companies where we conducted focus groups with nearly 200 software practitioners. Our aim is to better understand how companies can maximise practitioner support for SPI. |

| But what if the organization's highest priority isn't operational excellence? The article shows that such organizations have different measurement needs and presents ideas on how to address those needs, thereby making measurement more appealing. While the disparity discussed here involves measurement, it applies to all areas of software process improvement. |

| It has been well established in the software process improvement (SPI) literature and practice that without commitment from all organizational levels to SPI the initiative will most likely fail or the results are not far reaching. Commitment construct is explored and three forms of commitment are introduced: affective, continuance and normative commitment. Implications of these findings for SPI research and practice are discussed. |

| This paper presents the application of a model for product focused SPI (P-SPI) and describes experiences with this model in practice. The main conclusions are that P-SPI puts products to be developed in a central position in improvement programs, results in fulfilling specific quality goals of a company and project, and industrial experiments show interesting benefits. Applying the approach in industrial projects showed that P-SPI is relatively cheap and gives fast results and high benefits. |

| In this paper we describe a model called poor quality indicator model that is intended to be used to support traditional software process improvement initiation approaches. We also summarize the results of a case study we performed in an emergent organization to demonstrate the applicability of this model. |

| Based on the existing models and methodologies for software process improvement (SPI), an evolution management framework (EMF) is proposed. This methodology uses best practices of various existing models and methodologies, extends or adapts them, and puts them into the context of embedded software engineering development environments. |
